Drunken driving still a problem

Weekly DWI arrests significantly decreased when Minnesota's Stay Home order went into effect in March. However, drunk driving arrests are trending upward as the quarantine continues.

"One positive from the governor's stay at home order seemed to be the initial drop in DWI arrests," the state Department of Safety said in a statement. "Sadly, those numbers have steadily increased each weekend. Here is a breakdown of DWIs each weekend since March 20 in Minnesota."

DWI arrests are increasing:

• May 1-4: 164
• April 24-27: 143
• April 17-20: 133
• April 10-13: 118
• April 3-6: 109
• March 29-April 1: 94
• March 20-23: 126

The average number of DWI arrests each weekend before COVID-19 was 265.
